Our Lady of Fatima - First Saturdays of Reparation

This devotion was first revealed during the visions at Fatima to the 3 young Portuguese children to whom the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in 1917 – Lucia Santos and her cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto.

Our Lady asked that the First Saturday of every month become a day of prayer for the reparation of sin. In another vision in 1925, Our Lady specified the exact nature of the devotion.

The devotion is practiced on the First Saturday of each month for 5 consecutive months, by doing the following and offering it to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the conversion of sinners and the reparation of offenses:

 Spend 15 minutes with Our Blessed Mother by meditating on the Mysteries of

the Rosary

Please join us at 8:00 AM morning Mass on the First Saturday of each month, starting 10/7/17, and pray the Rosary after Mass as a Parish family, in order that we may honor this devotion as requested by Our Lady.

(*Members of the St. Joseph and St. Stanislaus Living Rosary and Holy Name Societies have offered to lead our Rosary as we begin this devotion; anyone else is welcome to do so but should not feel obligated to lead. ALL are strongly encouraged to attend, and be assured what a difference our prayers can and will make.)
